The Kettlebell Gauntlet: Weighted Vest ‘Armor’ Circuit + Snatch EMOM + Brutal Finisher.

Welcome to The Kettlebell Gauntlet — a brutal, full-body hybrid session combining three iconic kettlebell systems into one monster workout.

1. Weighted Vest “Armour” Circuit
Based on the legendary Armor Building Complex created by Dan John — one of the most respected strength coaches alive.
This version is turned up further with a weighted vest for extra trunk tension, power, and density.

2. Snatch EMOM (Every Minute on the Minute)
Inspired by Geoff Neupert’s Viking Warrior Conditioning — the snatch protocol famous for building an engine you can’t break.
Explosive power, grip strength, conditioning, and mitochondrial stress combine to create the perfect middle phase.

3. Brutal Finisher
A grip-torching, core-crushing end set that ties the entire Gauntlet together.
